Enjoins Govt. To Toughen Up Anti-Cyber Law To Curb Physical, Virtual Diabolic Acts

A Muslim organization operating under the aegis of ‘Al-Harakatul-Islamiyyah’ has cautioned traditional leaders and religious scholars to refrain from indulging evil people who often hide under their evil acts to display philanthropical gestures to deceive members of the public.

The call was made by the Ameer of the organization, Abdur-Razzaq Abdulwahab Al-Ameen Aladodo during a press conference held in Ilorin, Kwara State on Wednesday, to condemn the recent gruesome murder of Hafsoh Lawal, a final year student of the Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, allegedly killed by Abdulrahman Bello, an acclaimed Islamic cleric.

The group condemned the tagging of the suspect, saying “We make bold to say that the accused Abdulrahman Bello is not an Islamic cleric (Alfa) as being touted in the print and electronic media, granted that he attended Islamic schools (Madrsah), he took after some Ulamau Suui (evil scholars) who specialize in using human parts for money rituals and other diabolical practices.”

The group also known as Muslim Ummah with branches in the South West states and some parts of the Northern however highlighted some way out of the menace to include:  “In the light of this, fuller investigation, and diligent prosecution of accused persons should be carried out no matter whose ox is gored.

“The government is urged to desist from the misuse of the power of Prerogative of Mercy in favour of convicts on political grounds.

“The government is enjoined to amend the current law relating to Dealing in Human Parts to allow for stiffer punishment to serve as a deterrent to other would-be perpetrators of such heinous crimes.

“The government is advised to treat all or anyone involved in this type of heinous crime as gangrene which if left to subsist would eventually infect others.

“We urge all state governors particularly that of Kwara State to expeditiously sign the death warrant of any convicted felon or death-row inmates.

“We implore governments to be alive to their responsibilities by institutionalizing the act of commanding righteousness and forbidding evil.

“The government is enjoined to toughen up the Anti-Cyber Law to curb physical and virtual diabolic acts.

“It is imperative that our Traditional Rulers should refrain from commercializing Religious Titles by awarding same to people of questionable characters so that such people would not be taken as role models by innocent youths, ditto for our scholars who should quit promoting, extolling, and praising money ritualists, corrupt people, and Ulamau Suui (evil scholars) as philanthropists.

“Furthermore, our scholars should stop fraternizing with musicians and artists and avoid the ostentatious life of spraying money at social functions.

“The general populace should be vigilant to report suspicious people to law enforcement agents even though there are some bad eggs within the rank and file of Security Agencies.

“We appeal to all parents to be alive to their parental roles; they should encourage their children to use social media platforms responsibly and with circumspection.

“While thanking the right-thinking and morally upright people of Ilorin for their prompt reaction to this heinous crime, careless commentators amongst scholars are hereby advised to take caution and remember that every spoken word will be accounted for on the Day of Judgment.”
